McKinnon is a better all-around back who is also a solid receiver. His talent wasn’t exactly on display in Week 3’s win over the Panthers. He ran for just 45 yards on 16 carries, but Minnesota’s offense wasn’t exactly the ’99 St. Louis Rams in that game.

The offensive line will have to be better if the run game is going to improve, but the group was probably at its best in the second half of Week 3 – even without left guard Alex Boone.
